Description
The National Department of Tourism will host the 2nd Local Government Tourism Conference under the theme, “Tourism: A Catalyst for Local Economic Growth, Job Creation and Transformation”, with the Honourable Minister of Tourism, Mr Derek Hanekom as guest of honour. The Conference will be held from the 30th – 31st March 2015 at Emperors Palace, Kempton Park, Gauteng. Stakeholders are therefore invited to come together and deliberate on how best to position tourism as a key economic sector that can create employment, contribute to poverty alleviation as espoused in some of the country’s economic growth strategies such as the National Development Plan (NDP).The Tourism Industry’s contribution to South Africa’s Growth Domestic Product (GDP) places it in a strategic position to contribute to the goals of the National Development Plan. This can be done through coordinated efforts, with local government at the centre of such efforts. Objectives of the Conference will include reflecting on the deliberations of the 2013 Local Government Tourism Conference and intensive discussions on various tourism policies, legislation and strategies and how they impact on local government. There will also be discussions on how best to empower and capacitate all spheres of government to align and integrate their tourism plans with national imperatives. Delegates will also reflect and deliberate on current institutional arrangements and resource allocation for the prioritisation of tourism across all spheres of government. Conference participants will also engage in plenary, panel discussions and break away sessions on topics related to the following issues: · Current Policy Developments in Tourism and their Implications for Local Government · The State of Domestic Tourism in South Africa · Transformation in the Tourism Sector · Resourcing Tourism Development · Enhancing Local Government’s Competitiveness Conference proceedings will be underpinned by the National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS) which highlights the need for consistent and meaningful interaction between all spheres of government for the sustainable growth of tourism. Registration for participation will commence soon. For more information, please contact Ms Boitumelo Lelokwane on (012) 444 6300 or Mr Xolisa Sirayi on (012) 444 6323.
